I love listening to your supportive conversations. It took me so many years to manage my mental health, but I think I got it down. I’m already 71 years old. After six years on blood pressure meds where I had no positive result and only side effects affecting me, I chose to do some investigating. Long story short I began taking 1 tablespoon of Moroccan olive oil every morning when I woke up. I also started drinking hibiscus tea. 2 1/2 weeks my blood pressure dropped 40 points. It has remained that way. I no longer take any blood pressure meds and it took about a year to feel confidentto take myself off them. My primary care doctor is very unhappy with me so I don’t engage with him anymore. But I do listen to your podcast here and I appreciate how you support and encourage me every day. Thank you.
I usually keep my blood pressure under control. I exercise every day. Drink hibiscus tea twice a day.along side my meds. However recently it has risen. What could be the cause?
As a former nurse, this is by far the most spot on advice I've heard in a long time. I've learned to trust DC's far more than the vast majority of MD's who have a one-track very closed mind when you try to talk to them about lifestyle changes.
No fluff, pure truth about health and wellness. I wish my "health care" professional that I deal with had a tenth of your professionalism and views. I had to learn to critically listen to their views and find my own way with the knowledge and guidance of you and some other YT voices. Thanks.
I appreciate the information and I watch you constantly. I lost a brother recently that was in the best shape CONSTANTLY throughout his entire life. Everyone that knows him are still in complete shock of his death due to a heart attack because of his high blood pressure! He was 59 and would always bring his own food to family gatherings because he didn’t know how it was prepared as far as seasonings and processed foods. I’m big into juicing fruits and veggies, walking daily, dropped 50lbs, trying my damndest to come off these meds! I appreciate the knowledge!
Finally, a Dr without ulterior motives. I've watched a couple of your videos, but this one got my immediate attention. I'll be 69 this year and I'm no different from anyone else as far as stress, overweight. I want to get off b/p meds and stress medication I feel this is a good vid to help us starters who will listen☺. Thanks doc. Blessings
I think this is maybe the best video you’ve ever made!!! And that’s saying something because all your videos are awesome. I wish I had some of this advice 20 years ago when I was working 7 days a week in the oil fields and raising a very busy family. I was eating bad, not exercising, and stressed to the max. Of course I had high blood pressure diagnosis and the dr said “here’s a prescription” and sent me on my way, not until about 5 years ago was I even aware lifestyle affected blood pressure. My parents had it so I just assumed it was burden to bear. I’ve been making slow and steady progress towards a healthy and happier life and it’s helping allot!!! Thanks so much!!
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the 23 former doctor truths by lauren clark. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Thank you, really the deep breathing method works!!! And also after I watched the other video about the mistakes when taking the BP, so I did the breathing method the first few minutes with you on your video, and my BP dropped from 150/90 to 140/80 , so I kept on doing it , with some rest between, and after 15 minutes only it came down to 132/80. Waw. Thank you
Notes To lower BP *Don't eat McDonald's *Don't eat processed foods *Eat whole foods *Exercise *Deep breathing (in through the nose and out through the mouth) *Change your attitude (Dont focus on the problem - focus on the solution) Supplements in Doctor's link You cant supplement your way out of a lack of exercise, bad mental capacity and a bad diet.
You can’t do just one thing. Eventually your pressure will find its way back up. Everything needs to incorporated into a lifestyle. Everything that goes into my mouth has a purpose and it’s to keep me healthy especially my bp because it’s really my only health issues at 67. I’m on no meds I went cold turkey off the bp meds 3 years ago
BP meds never lowered my blood pressure, they made me weak and dizzy. I did some research and they had all kinds of side effects especially Lisinopril its made from snake venom .
My pressure rose when I was in my 20s when ENTs were prescribing antihistamine and decongestant. As I got older it settled in at around 210 over 120. I went on meds and it settled in at around 140 over 90. Then I started taking l-arginine with my med. The l-arginine every day and the med twice a week. The last 2 months I've been taking N1O1. Watch my diet and I'm around 130 over 70. I can actually feel the difference. Cayenne and Hawthorne are going to be added this week.
I took hawthorn for awhile and pretty amazed at what it did for my pressure. However I started getting an irregular heartbeat and tachycardia AFIB . I stopped the hawthorn took lots of vitamin C and benfotiamine. I sleep through the night and I’m feeling better. Be careful with hawthorn and adding things with lots of ingredients.
Wow, I didn't know that was possible...Doctors say if your blood pressure reaches 200 you need to go to the emergency room...The highest mine ever got was 160/98 when I had covid...
@josephvida1439 i never knew it was that high until I went to a dentist for a root canal. She took it and it was 210 over 112. She wouldn't do the root canal until I went to see a cardiologist. He put me on lisinipril and another med. Now it's 100% N1O1. I checked it last night and this morning. 127 over 71 both readings. Only time it gets bad is if I'm drinking too much bourbon
About six or seven years ago, it was when Mark Hyman‘s the blood sugar solution book came out. And for reasons of needing to leave a job I was on 60 units of insulin and weighed 180 pounds and wanted to get off of my medicine. So I started testing After I ate and I began eliminating foods in that way. I was shocked when I discovered how high my blood sugar went after eating just plain oatmeal. So now I am 120 pounds and on no meds. When people ask what diet I’m on, I say I’m on my diet Because I tested what created arise in my blood sugar. I think it’s interesting that the levels apps help people do that because some people can eat, for example a banana and not get a huge rise in sugar. Sometimes it depends on the order that you eat your food how quicklyyour blood sugar rises. But I like your approach because I always say you have to do you if you can test that’s helpful
Agree 100%. My BP medication was removed and greatly reduced my other pill for blood sugar and heart rate a couple of yeard ago. I also taking pill for cholesterol. I did change my lifestyle excercise, proper diet, less sugar intake, added water intake, no soda, and no liquor. I'm taking barley every morning 1 hour before my light breakfast usually fruit or bread. Then a glass of water 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. One by one doctor is removibg my pills, I'm trying to avoid pain killer pills because those can affect our kidney.
WOW! Doctors see 30 plus patients a day!!! I believe and have started weaning off these meds. Lost 50 lbs. Now, 122 lbs. I walk a lot. I know how to wean off meds done it before different meds. Love your enthusiasm. My diet is proteins and veggies. I am taken 5mg of Amlodipine and want to wean off with maybe L-Arginine and L-Citrulline. Thank You!!!
Love your heart! I've believed this for 20+ years. Perfect video presentation. I am posting this to my Facebook page and passing it on to my family and friends.
"If you don't have a house, walk outside..." 🤣 Oh, that cracked me up, and it felt so good to laugh! We need to find a way, short and simple. You're right.
I'm on BP meds BUT doing intermittent fasting two meals per day. Keto/Carnivore! No sugar, no carbs, no highly processed foods, no seed oils. My BP was maintained with meds but has dropped. I'm going off my meds and will closely monitor 2-3 times a day. If I see a slight increase I'll increase my Potassium intake. If higher increase I'll request a lower dosage of meds. I also take Magnesium supplements. After 3 back surgeries my ability to walk/exercise is challenging. But I'm 68 at 195 pounds and lost 50 in the last 5 months.
I’m so excited to have found you. You are the inspiration that I needed. I have reduce blood pressure medicine with exercise and better eating And less stress management. I have 40 mg more to go. Again, thank you for the inspiration. I will take your advice seriously
Such a great video. I searched the web for how to wean myself of bp meds but it doesn't seem to exist. You are the first time I actually found someone addressing this issue. Thanks for the great advice. Inspiring!!
Quit caffeine due to stomach issues, always had high tests no matter what. Now my blood pressure is low, like to the point to where I am worried sometimes. Never saw the connection.
Years ago I was taking a beta blocker. I weaned myself off. Now I’m on 2. I’ve had multi lacuna infarctions. I’m afraid to do that again. I have to see a neurologist who specializes in my condition. I’m going back to aquatic therapy this month. Lots of arthritis & pain. Pain is a big part of my problem.
Great video Doc …I’ve been on BP meds for 20 years . Since watching your vids I’ve started exercising every day …eat less but healthier and lost 14 pounds . Sadly no exercise yesterday and today ….been hit with COVID . Can’t wait to get back on the treadmill 👍
Thanks Doc for helping us to see the need to change our attitudes, eating habits, weight, etc....AND USING COMMON SENSE! People are not obese because they're eating CARROTS! Facts! 😂
My uncle was a heart surgeon, he died when he was a 104. He was an alcoholic, more so when he was an active doctor. He had a massive food addiction too. He never followed any diet or exercise. He just used to regularly eat shit loads of meat. In the end, he died of an overdose of his diabetic medicine, which was accidentally consumed due to natural memory loss. Not that I recommend his lifestyle to anyone but I remember he used to say, work on strengthening your metabolism and you can put anything in your stomach. Then again, I have nothing on this to support this claim.

By the way, your videos are informative, logically sequenced and pleasant to watch due to a balanced pace and good voice staccato.
I just started and I am on it do to life stress - I fail my stress test last year 25% blockage then took it this year and pass (left me confused) I am on a path to do better mentally physically and would like to not take BP pills
I got off of my high blood pressure medication. I monitored my blood pressure each week and took the data to my doctor to show that I didn’t need the medication anymore. Now, I need to get my A1c from 5.7 to below that number. Any tips?
I'm weaning off my BP pills right now. I was taking a diuretic (HCTZ) that I found out was causing a ton of side including malaise so I quit it immediately. I keep it on hand in case I have a swelling day (I've had a stroke), but for the most part I don't use it & feel SO much better! 🌻
I take Mukt Vatika Ayurvedic natural bp along with hawthorn berry, cayenne, ginger, vitamin k, coq10, niacin and turmeric. Plus the breathing exercises. Really helps lower my blood pressure.
Once you've had a stroke, you get as healthy as humanly possible given your situation. That's all you can do. That's why we have medical care, when the unfortunate happens.
There is a fitness regimen called 'Sit & be Fit'. My local senior center has classes. Their classes are on video which means you might not even have to leave your home to access them. Maybe your healthcare provider can help you, or some insurance has similar benefits. Good luck. NEVER give up. 🙏🤞❤️
@1rodnumero I've been frustrated myself. There's literally NO INFORMATION out there on how to address high BP and blood sugar *possibly* from being too heavy from having a lot of muscle.
For obvious reasons blood pressure HAS to rise with your height and mass. Overall it's the pressure the heart needs to get the blood to all your cells and it's always one heart in the center of your body doing this. When you got are thin and small, the pressure needed for that is way lower than if you are big and massive.
I find when I don't take my blood pressure medicine the middle of my chest starts bothering me some that's when I forget to take it and then once I start feeling that I said oh I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine that's the first thing that comes to my mind when I start doing that in my chest
Wow, I didn't know that...Everybody tells me you never get off of blood pressure medication...From the RUclips videos I've seen, once your blood vessels become filled with plaque, you have reached the point of no return...The doctors are very aggressive against stroke and heart attacks...I know an 80 something year old friend who has 9 stents...He is on everything...His blood thinners are so high that his arm looks like someone hit him with a hammer...He sees 4 different heart specialists...I know another dude who had quadruple bypass surgery and takes 325mg of aspirin every day...He never learned his lesson, now he is diabetic...I noticed high blood pressure goes hand in hand with diabetes...My home health aide takes blood pressure meds because she was born with problems with her heart...My other friend Harry is another one who treats his body like garbage...He is also on blood pressure meds and diabetic...He has cellulitis on his lower legs that never heals...I don't smoke and drink, do everything right, but I worry about myself anyway...Have blood vessels that are popping out of my left forehead...Maybe I have plaque filled vessels there and need a stent...So I need to see a heart doctor too...
I do structured exercises 6 days a week, with some component of aerobic in each session. In addition, I rotate between HIIT, isometric, and resistance exercises. I live on an active farm/ranch, so I have to feed animals and do quite a bit of walking every day just in doing farm and ranch work, so even though I do take one day a week off of structured exercise, I'm still moving on the seventh day. My BMI is in the "mildly thin" cateogry and I eat no highly processed food and limit sugar in foods. My diet is primarily Mediterranean. My doctor actually wants me to gain weight, but I feel great being "mildly thin". I'm 68 years old and female. This year, I want to get off of my low dose high blood pressure meds. My pressures at home are great- usually between 115-125 and very consistent at 70 at diastolic. But when I go to the doctor, my systolic sky rockets to around 160 ,but it is not that way at home. At my last visit, my blood tests were all perfect. I bring in my numbers to the doctor and at least she's not hassling me about more meds, but I want to get off all of them. BTW- I like what you said about diets. Some diets work better than others for different people, but most all share eliminating/minimizing highly processed foods. And I do eat lots of carrots. :)
I was on valsartan for 5 years, I changed my diet and titrated off it in 3 months. My nominal BP is now 100/70. The highest my BP gets is 115/80 about an hour after eating. After my 3 miles in the morning it is 85/65.

Hello Doctor,
I would love if you did video on tinnitus, if you happen to have tips on this topic. Conventional medicine has no answers to this problem. You may help and reach a lot of people. By the way, your videos are informative, logically sequenced and pleasant to watch due to a balanced pace and good voice staccato.
I have a couple videos on my channel regarding that. Check them out. It's free.
Good logical advice.
What are your thoughts on the supplements Nattokinase and Pycnogenol?
Thank you very much. You are great!
I just started and I am on it do to life stress - I fail my stress test last year 25% blockage then took it this year and pass (left me confused) I am on a path to do better mentally physically and would like to not take BP pills

Now, I need to get my A1c from 5.7 to below that number. Any tips?
I STOPPED MY B/P PILLS AND HAVE DONE MY BEST ON DIET AND EXERCISE I FELT SO ILL ON B/P PILLS I WILL NEVER TAKE THEM AGAIN
I'm weaning off my BP pills right now. I was taking a diuretic (HCTZ) that I found out was causing a ton of side including malaise so I quit it immediately. I keep it on hand in case I have a swelling day (I've had a stroke), but for the most part I don't use it & feel SO much better! 🌻
How do you know BP polls made you feel ill, and, if so, how do you know which one?
I take Mukt Vatika Ayurvedic natural bp along with hawthorn berry, cayenne, ginger, vitamin k, coq10, niacin and turmeric. Plus the breathing exercises. Really helps lower my blood pressure.
What about us wheelchair people?
(I had a stroke)
I was healthy diet/weightlifter before my stroke btw.
Once you've had a stroke, you get as healthy as humanly possible given your situation. That's all you can do. That's why we have medical care, when the unfortunate happens.

Thank you Doc !!!!!!
Hi doc! Can we get off bp meds even have protein in urine?
If I'm 275 lbs of mostly muscle, will I still need to lose weight (muscle & fat) to lower my BP?
That's a good question.
I am also a nut gym. I have 18 inch arms my BP is elevated.
Anything about big muscles?? And bp!!!!
@1rodnumero I've been frustrated myself. There's literally NO INFORMATION out there on how to address high BP and blood sugar *possibly* from being too heavy from having a lot of muscle.

From what I remember osteoporosis is also called a silent killer
There's plenty of indoor walking videos on youtube. If you don't have time to go outside walking.
Thank you it works!
I'm not seeing the links for supplements. Have you linked these?
So, no transgenic, or process foods ( boxed ) Diet.
There was a good BBC program: The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs.
Nothing new glad that I put it on 2X speed. I do all those things anyway and more. Pressure still high.
Did you give up sugar and carbs?

Wow, I didn't know that...Everybody tells me you never get off of blood pressure medication...From the RUclips videos I've seen, once your blood vessels become filled with plaque, you have reached the point of no return...The doctors are very aggressive against stroke and heart attacks...I know an 80 something year old friend who has 9 stents...He is on everything...His blood thinners are so high that his arm looks like someone hit him with a hammer...He sees 4 different heart specialists...I know another dude who had quadruple bypass surgery and takes 325mg of aspirin every day...He never learned his lesson, now he is diabetic...I noticed high blood pressure goes hand in hand with diabetes...My home health aide takes blood pressure meds because she was born with problems with her heart...My other friend Harry is another one who treats his body like garbage...He is also on blood pressure meds and diabetic...He has cellulitis on his lower legs that never heals...I don't smoke and drink, do everything right, but I worry about myself anyway...Have blood vessels that are popping out of my left forehead...Maybe I have plaque filled vessels there and need a stent...So I need to see a heart doctor too...

the best thing is to never go on it
Hmmm 😐
I put 2.5 miles on the exercise bike while watching this.
I wish
I do structured exercises 6 days a week, with some component of aerobic in each session. In addition, I rotate between HIIT, isometric, and resistance exercises. I live on an active farm/ranch, so I have to feed animals and do quite a bit of walking every day just in doing farm and ranch work, so even though I do take one day a week off of structured exercise, I'm still moving on the seventh day. My BMI is in the "mildly thin" cateogry and I eat no highly processed food and limit sugar in foods. My diet is primarily Mediterranean. My doctor actually wants me to gain weight, but I feel great being "mildly thin". I'm 68 years old and female. This year, I want to get off of my low dose high blood pressure meds. My pressures at home are great- usually between 115-125 and very consistent at 70 at diastolic. But when I go to the doctor, my systolic sky rockets to around 160 ,but it is not that way at home. At my last visit, my blood tests were all perfect. I bring in my numbers to the doctor and at least she's not hassling me about more meds, but I want to get off all of them. BTW- I like what you said about diets. Some diets work better than others for different people, but most all share eliminating/minimizing highly processed foods. And I do eat lots of carrots. :)
It is very simple, you cut gradually fhe amount of STATINS
I was on valsartan for 5 years, I changed my diet and titrated off it in 3 months. My nominal BP is now 100/70.
The highest my BP gets is 115/80 about an hour after eating. After my 3 miles in the morning it is 85/65.
I think you should stay in your lane. You're a chiropractor. If you want to work on hypertension, go get an MD.
Wow
